Bunny Love 0
March 27, 2013











So while I wait for this sweet baby girl to arrive I’ve been doing a lot of cleaning, organizing, nesting and thinking. Part of my new year’s resolution is to post on the blog more often, but things get busy and I sadly don’t post as often as I would like to. However, last week I created these cute easter projects with my son Ian and I thought it would be a shame not to share them with you guys. They are super easy to make and I bet you already have most of these supplies at home. Well, I hope you enjoy it.
For the bunny boxes: You’ll need is a gift box, felt, wiggly eyes, hot glue, pompom and a pen. Fill them with your favorites easter eggs and voilà! super easy, right? I sell these cute boxes in my shop if you ever need them.
For the bunny cans: You’ll need an empty tin can, fabric or paper to cover it, felt, wiggly eyes, hot glue and pompom. I used mod podge to glue and seal both fabric and paper to the can. Super easy! your kids will love making them :)
Happy Easter everyone!!! I hope my baby bunny arrives by this Sunday. I’m officially 40 weeks pregnant today and I can’t wait to meet her. xoxo, ana

We’ll provide you with the materials and the instructions to create a fun project, so all you have to do is gather your favorite friends and get crafting. You could even plan a monthly craft party night where everyone could bring their packages and create their projects together. Wouldn’t that be fun, like celebrating your b-day each month? If you like my shop, then I promise you will love everything you will receive :-)
